Question:

I am looking for a bike rack for my 2004 Toyota Corolla. The bikes are about 68 pounds each and have very wide tires. Any recommendations?

Expert Reply:

I recommend using a Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6 to haul your 2 E Bikes.

Your Toyota Corolla is only capable of using a class I receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11265. This will limit the bike racks that you can carry and the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 will only allow for bikes up to 65lbs each.

To pull the Trailer # K2MMT4X6 you will also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 55542 to operate the trailer lights. A Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3593, 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256, Curt Hitch Pin and Clip # F-4 will complete the mechanical connection to the utility trailer.
